Little Blossom Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][E][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Oh, [D]dear,
I'm so tired and so [A]lonesome
I wonder why mama don't [D]come
She told me to close my [G]pretty blue [E]eyes
An[A]d when I awoke, she'd be home
[D]

[Verse 2]
I guess I'll go out and find [A]papa
He must've stopped in at [D]the store
That great long room filled with [G]bottles[E]
I [A]wish he would go there no more
[D]

[Verse 3]
Sometimes he's so sick
when he [A]comes home
He staggers and falls on the [D]stairs
And once when he came in the [G]parlor[E]
He [A]kicked at my poor little [D]chair

[Verse 4]
But I [D]love him, I guess I'll go [A]find him
I know he will gladly come [D]home
And then it won't be so [G]lone[E]some
[A]Waiting for mama to come

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][E][A][D]

[Verse 5]
"Oh, [D]daddy," she cried
when she [A]reached him
Her voice ringing out sweet an[D]d clear
I knew if I come, I would [G]find [E]you
And [A]now I am glad I am [D]here

[Verse 6]
For a [D]moment, the red eyes [A]gazed wildly
Into that face sweet and [D]fair
And just as a demon [G]possessed [E]him
He [A]grabbed for the back of a chair
[D]

[Verse 7]
In a moment, the whole thing was [A]over
The work of his deed was com[D]plete
And poor little innocent Blos[G]som[E]
Lay [A]quivering and crushed at his [D]feet

[Verse 8]
He [D]clasped a bright arm to his [A]bosom
And fondled her sweet curly [D]hair
For a moment,
the baby's lips [G]trembled[E]
And [A]then little Blossom was dead
[D]
